My mother raised not just a son but a sun
Mama is the head of the family..
Because she is smart up stairs
Mother who took me school even when she can't spell it ......

🎤Sisi tulipiga kura lakini hatuna Uhuru..
🎤A country where politicians are paid sitting allowances at the expense of a hungry nation😡
🎤Kabla nife ningetaka kuwaacha huru..
🎤 nitawaambia huru Hadi kuwe na nuru ndio tutakua uhuru

Young women have not been in the political game long enough to accumulate resources needed to run campaigns which are way too expensive.
